  1. We have actually sailed & gambled more on Princess but I know that the gambling info is shared between some cruise lines. The absolute best offer from Princess is left in your cabin on the last day of the cruise. You have about a month to book & the cruise can go out only about 6 months. All the email offers I get from Princess are not very good. Only about half the one left in the cabin. Holland sends me offers (email) all the time. Some better than others. That is why you have to look at each one & not just erase because you assume they are not good. The last was to good to be true so I booked for next year. I had read somewhere on cruise critic that these offers can be used 3 TIMES each from Holland even though the offer does not say that. I just tried a mock booking on the offer we just used and YES, it appears I can use that offer again :O)
  2. You will get mixed answers on this. There is another thread going on this topic. We have done 3 Princess cruises in the past year on different ships. Stayed in a Penthouse Suite. We were never charged for room service whether we called or hung the tag on the door. We were told it was because we were in a suite. We did have the old plus package but I do not think that mattered.
  3. That is great. That is what I thought so much better than other offers is the fact you can book way out. Actually a year away. Most other offers we ever get are only good for a booking a few months out.
  4. I find this odd that so many seemed to be charged. We said 3 times this past year on the Crown , Royal & Regal. All with the old Plus package & never charged for room service.
  5. We sailed 2 months ago with the $50. Plus package in a suite. Never paid a fee. and we ordered by phone for coffee & pastry every morning because we were up at 5 am & the menu you hang on the door did not start delivery that early.
  6. I think my original point has been lost. I was trying to stress how wonderful the offers have become....
  7. The email just says in large letters.... Holland America Players Club. I know they are all outsourced but the cruise line likes make you think it is them....fine with me !
  8. Princess & Holland have both given us great casino offers but now Holland has jumped ahead. Although the time is fairly short to accept an offer before it expires, usually just about 2 weeks. The dates for eligible cruises goes way out. We just had an offer for a free cruise & drinks. To good to pass by when I saw we could book out into 2025. So, we just booked a Mexican cruise for 11 nights for March 2025 ! The only thing we really have to lose if we cancel is the $100.pp deposit. I was assured port & tax would be refunded. The way things are going, I am sure cruise fares & drink packages will keep going up just like everything else.
  9. ?? We always stay in a Neptune suite maybe 1
  10. Cannot find a youtube on the SB Some discussions I have read says it has a bigger balcony but the cabin is the same (?) Others say the SA & SB are exactly the same just the location is different. Anyone familiar with those categories ? Thanks
  11. Wahooo... thanks so much. That is what I was hoping. It is worth the gamble to me to book & only be jeopardizing the small down payment. We have only until the end of this month to make the booking even though the sailing date is far away.
  12. Thinking of booking a casino offer for later this year. The cabin is free. I know that I have to to pay the deposit, port & taxes at the time of booking. If I have to cancel.... I know the $200. non refundable per person deposit will be forfeited.. But what about the port & taxes ? Anyone have any ideas ???
  13. Years ago, on a different cruiseline, we had the same kind of problem. When I went down to guest services to complain...they calmly said...ship noises :O)
  14. I am SOOOOOO happy to hear about this. Our Holland cruise is in just a few weeks. I have been getting used to this on our last Princess cruises. Exactly the same, Last sea day of the cruise.
  15. One nice thing I would like to add about the casino deals you get onboard..... Although they say NOT combinable with other offers...that appears to be only for the same person, not the other person on the booking. We always book under my deal because I get a better cabin category offer. Lately they include Princess Plus & casino cash. ! Anyway, They have been adding the casino cash offer that my husband gets to our bookings ! This time $500. :O)
